My son was happy, healthy, progressing normally. I was pressured into the vaccinations, assured “they’re safe now” – so the doctor knew our reservations. He cried for three days straight (& he was not a colicky baby) & developed a rash over his entire body. Every phone call to the doctors office just assured us everything was okay, it was just a mild reaction & to call back if we were concerned (which we did several times, each time the same response) By Monday the rash abated, but our baby would no longer look into your eyes, or at a camera, or anything really, refused to swing (which he formerly loved) refused to even crawl, let alone walk. He didn’t want to be changed, or held. We didn’t know it yet but our life had changed, forever.
We thought he was a late talker when he still didn’t speak by the time to enter school. Then came the diagnosis of autism. There’s no history of autism in either side of the family, & the change was so drastic, immediate, & permanent. Whenever someone denies the truth our family faces EVERY day since that fateful mistake, allowing those vaccinations to damage my child, it’s like sticking a knife into my heart all over again, & again.
Unfortunately, people don’t KNOW until it’s too late. Compensation? What a JOKE! You’re lucky if you can get any help from any sources, you will have to advocate for your child for every single morsel you receive & you WILL NEED a LOT of help. You will need to quit your job, give up your social life, life as you knew it, & dedicate yourself to making the most of every opportunity you have to help your child overcome the challenges that they will have to face their entire life. Because even if they find ways to accommodate or overcome them, they still have to live with that every day of their life!
So it affects the victim, their families, their friends, the entire community is robbed of the potential contribution of this, instead each person who recommended, administered, and approved, including the society as a whole must bear the burden of responsibility, beyond the financial cost, the loss of productivity, let alone the JOY the victim is robbed of & every one their life touches.
Compensation? That’s a JOKE – for every claimant awarded anything, dozens are denied, & hundreds don’t even get heard. Even the few that do get “compensated” – would you give up your life for any amount of money?

My son’s Autism had it’s onset following his infant vaccines, which at the time with the exception of the MMR, contained Thimerosal (a mercury containing peservative)

I want to know why a boy who was born healthy and whole, lost all the milestones he had reached, after his vaccines and I want to know why our government has failed our children and our concerns been ignored for so long.

My son Michael’s vaccines were administered in California, USA. This is a perfect example of the careless behavior in doctors offices. He received three vaccines within 20 days of having bronchitis and taking medication known to suppress the immune system. He received a total of 11 vaccines between the age of 8 months and 12 months and most of them were combination vaccines and at times administered while he was running a fever. At some point during those 4 months his head became very large. By the time I realized vaccines were to blamed for the brain damage, he had received 16 vaccines.

On his first birthday September 1998, he received the MMR vaccine and because of it, what might have been a mild case of autism became autism on steroids. Withing days developed severe diarrhea and abdominal pain. He lost all the speech he had up to the point. He went from talking to not making any sense, to a few words and then nothing. His digestive system is a mess to this day and the abdominal pain makes him angry and aggressive. He is now 17 years old and still having terrible problems. He can’t sleep, can’t digest his food properly, has no muscle tone, can’t talk and has the maturity of a toddler. He is suspended in time.

The CDC allowed a generation of children to be poisoned. Vaccine injury is a human tragedy. My hope is that something is done now, so that no more children have to suffer.

Zurama, I read stories like yours ALL THE TIME, but somehow they never fail to move me deeply. I join you in your hope that this is the beginning of the end of vaccine-induced illnesses. Thank you for your testimony. I know it is making a difference for someone else.

Gardasil: the journey no one should take…
MAY 21, 2013 BY ADMIN 31 COMMENTS
By Stephanie’s Mother, Jeannie Matthews

I write this story hoping it helps save at least one girl; then our journey will not have been in vain.
I will barely touch the tip of the iceberg; so much has happened over these past 4-5 years. It has been a whirlwind and like a whirlwind – an unwelcome event.
Stephanie was 23 years old at the time of her 1st Gardasil injection. As most young adults, she was working, had her own health insurance and took responsibility for her health and medical decisions. She had been a Type I diabetic since age 10 and knew the importance of taking care of herself.
At her regular check up, the doctor said she needed to get this “NEW” vaccine for humanpapilloma virus (HPV). So our journey began.
Steph received her first shot in June 2008; the second in October 2008. The night of her second vaccine, Stephanie was admitted to the intensive care unit with an acute respiratory problem and sky rocketing blood sugars.
The 3rd injection was in December 2008. Early in 2009, Stephanie took a trip to Mexico. On the way back she experienced uncontrollable vomiting, headaches and body aches. Once again she was hospitalized.
Thinking she may have picked up something while in Mexico, we pressed the hospital and doctors to check for parasites and pathogens. All tests came back negative.
She was hospitalized over and over again with the same symptoms. Test after test revealed nothing. Finally she received a diagnosis of gastro paresis, thought to be a result of her diabetes. Her body was also full of yeast. One gastric empting test came back inconclusive, another came back slow.
Here is the clincher; we did not give any thought to the vaccine because we did not know she had the vaccine. It was not until we started realizing that her symptoms were not exclusive to gastro paresis, that I pressed Stephanie asking what she may have done differently or been exposed to.
This is when she said, “Well, I had a vaccine.” Keep in mind she was an adult who trusted the doctors. She did not think this was relevant – they would not give her something to hurt her.
It would be close to 2 years before realizing what could have caused Steph’s “mystery illness.”
While on my Facebook page, a large flashing ad on the left of my screen shouting ‘One more girl’ got my attention. I clicked on it and found that several girls had the same symptoms. I had so many questions! How was this vaccine tested? What did the package insert say? Did any other of these girls have compromised immune systems like Steph with her type I diabetes? Was it tested on this group of girls? Why do some get sick but not all? Why so many? Why had other countries already taken the vaccine off the market? We felt like we had played Russian roulette and lost.
This was just the beginning of the long, long journey into our Gardasil nightmare. Since this time, Stephanie has been hospitalized over 80 times. She was in for 3 weeks in southern California. This time on a purely liquid diet, hooked up to IVs, gaining weight and still vomiting. She had headaches, a disrupted menstrual cycle, large weight gain, itching, hair loss, body aches, depression, and extreme mood changes. She has had EVERY test in the book – over and over again.
Not one doctor that we encountered has yet to look at, or even consider the vaccine as a possible cause. They have blamed everything from diabetes to being psychologically sick. Some doctors have gone so far as to say they think we are crazy.
Her last doctor in southern California finally looked at some other girls’ stories and the website SaneVax. He threw his hands up and said, “If this were my mother, daughter, sister or aunt, I would go and get a second opinion.”
Keep in mind by this time; Steph has had every blood test, scope, scan and lab test available. All pretty much inconclusive or if it came back positive once, it was not positive again. They pumped her full of anti-nausea meds, antibiotics, fluids, painkillers, and anti-fungal over and over again. Each and every hospital visit we would have to go over the same thing. Each and every time we would get the same treatment.
We were always told by the hospitals, “We don’t fix people here; we just get them well enough to follow up with their primary physician.” I could not get them to understand that she is hospitalized so much that by the time she gets out and gets an appointment with her primary doc, she is sick again and admitted to the hospital. We have had 2nd 3rd and 4th opinions.
These symptoms are brutal. The vomiting is not something that stops on its own and is accompanied by brutal stomachaches as well. Now you tell me, how does a person who is vomiting more days out of their life than not gain weight?
It is almost like she has gone into menopause with the hair loss, mood swings, night sweats, and hot flashes. This vaccine disrupts the entire neurological and endocrine system.
Stephanie’s Cobra insurance ran out, so she is now uninsured and unable to work, with hospital bills over 2 million dollars. I decided to move her to Northern California so she would be closer and maybe get fresh start with new doctors. She had already been hospitalized numerous times in Southern California in 5 different hospitals.
The move north proved to us that the medical field is not willing to take responsibility or go against “Big Pharmaceutical” companies.
To date, Steph spent most of April 2013 in the hospital. We went so far as to have her gall bladder removed hoping this would stop her uncontrollable vomiting. Wrong again. The doctor actually told us, “So what if it is the vaccine, what are we going to do about it?”
Today, Steph is 27 and on disability and Medicare. Still, not one doctor is willing to look further into the possibility the vaccine may have caused her symptoms.
Her visits to the hospital are coming farther apart. There is a series of things that happen before she gets sick. She becomes extremely tired, will “swell up,” get extremely bad migraines and body aches, then the vomiting will start. She will vomit with no food in her system, multiple times a day – for days. This seems to occur about every 3 months.
Stephanie is not alone, there have been over 130 deaths and 29,000 adverse reactions reported. Keep in mind; these are only reported reactions. How many other families have sick adult daughters that have not put two and two together?
Why in the world would anyone want 12 year olds to get this vaccine without having to tell their parents? A 12 year old that became sick from this vaccine without parental knowledge would never be able to connect the two! And their horrible journey into Gardasil prison could begin just that easily.
I just hope that all of our girl’s stories help to get the word out that this vaccine is a killer! One way or another it destroys lives.
Please understand – all 3 of my children had their childhood vaccines. I was not anti- vaccine until this. We feel the medical community has abandoned us. HPV vaccines were “fast tracked” to the main stream medical community without sufficient testing to deem them safe for anyone.
Please do not even consider this vaccine, it has damaged and killed more girls throughout the U.S. and other countries than the disease it was meant to protect against!
If you take one thing away from my daughter’s story, it should be clear as a bell – DO NOT AGREE TO PLAY GARDASIL ROULETTE!

my son spiked a high fever after the MMR shot, for two weeks we watched his eyes roll into the back of his head off and on. He never made another sound again. He was just diagnosed with speech apraxia last year and still has never had a sound or a word. He is 4. After two years of chronic diarrhea he has now been diagnosed with Chrones disease and may lose part of his intestines. He is also deadly allergic to dairy. My baby is now being tested for Chrones as well and he is only 2. Stop killing and hurting our sensitive kids. Some go through this just fine… but not mine. No one is here to help me night after night with endless diarrhea and the screams from stomach pain. For what? Please tell me why they are going through this, someone is to blame. Stop hiding the truth.

I sent emails to all of the above. We have 3 daughters. The 3rd of which was born in 1995 & vaccine injured by MMR. Between 12-15 mos. of age, she screamed, cried, clawed at her stomach on our floor with her back arched, racking her body all around the living room, writhing in pain…for hours at a time. If we tried to comfort her, she’d hit us, pull my hair until eventually she’d fall asleep. I took her to the pediatrician incessantly, called them on the phone, making them listen to her screaming/crying. I cried too, but nothing was ever mentioned regarding possible adverse vaccin reaction…nothing! She’d get red, warm blotches or flushed looking cheeks too. Doctor sent her for every possible test from ages 18 mos to age 5. Diagnosed with IBS, Reflux, Gastroenteritis, Food Allergies & Sensitivities. Positive allergy to Corn Syrup as in HFCS, MSG & Sorbitol….all of which are ingredients in vaccines. Finally, they sentus to Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh to the Child Development Unit in 2000..she was 5. Diagnosis…PDD/Nos., Anxiety, Sensory Dysfunction & sent us on our way dumbfounded! Our first born, born in 1989, had a bad reaction after her first DTP shot. She developed high fever & lethargy. Upon the next well baby visit, I was told that she wouldn’t receive the P part of the DTP shot because it was causing adverse reaction in many babies, as it did with her..so the P part of vaccine was removed. She got the DT. I was agast, wouldn’t that mean she’d get whooping cough? The pediatrician laughed, saying no, pertussis had been eradicated & it was far more dangerous for her to get the shot. I blindly went along. Our middle daughter developed Hyperinsulinism…pancreas makes too much insulin, instead of not enough. I wonder what the vaccine link is there? FFWD to 1996, when Guardasil was forced on our daughter’s to be “one less”. Our oldest daughter, age 16 fainted in Target Store following vaccine. I never put two & two together. She was tested…nothing found abnormal, but she randomly faints to this day…out of the blue it just happens. Our middle child gets tingling, numbness in her extremities. We deeply regret those Guardasil vaccines. No one in our family will ever receive a vaccine again! My mom is 76, never had a flu shot! She remembers in 1971 when I was 6 & my pediatrician said I would NOT be receiving the Smallpox vaccine like my 2 older siblings had in the past. He said it was being removed from the schedule & hed quit giving it…though other doctors were giving it right up to the cut off…in order to make money! He said it wasnt safe to do that since Smallpox had been eradicated in the U. S. Hmmm…kind of makes you think. They never remove vaccines from schedule anymore. They keep piling them on…multiple doses given to newborns & pregnant moms too now. My 76 yr old mother thinks its criminal.

In the year 2000 I had a beautiful little baby girl. She is my only child. She was so healthy, happy and so alert. She started speaking many words, and I wrote them all down in a Journal. Unfortunately, I was pro-vaccine and not known about the damage it would do. Cause when I grew up we only had 10 shots during my lifetime. So I listened to the doctor and not knowing that there were so many shots before age 5 (36 shots) But when she was 1 year and 1/2 she started changing, stopped listening to me when I called her name and wouldn’t look at me. She stopped talking, started acting very odd collecting all the socks and shaking them. By her not hearing me, I thought she was going deaf, so I had her hearing tested. She passed the test 100%. And I told her pediatrician what was going on, she said that “She is going through a faze.” I told the doc that “she is not talking anymore!” So the doctor set up Early Intervention to help my daughter to communicate. Then the day my daughter had her DPT shot (after she had her MMR ) the DPT shot (the same day) my daughter was laying on my bed with her bottle drinking it and the milk was squirting out of her mouth, and shaking her legs and was saying “do right, do right, do right. do right” and drooling with milk. I was so scared watching her, it looked like she was obsessed from the devil cause she hasn’t been Baptised yet (and I am not a religious person) but it scared the heck of me. After that the therapist had told me to have her evaluated. It was in the year 2002 we had the evaluation from a specialist (3 hour long visit.) They had diagnosed her with Autism. We were devestated. The same week, someone told me to put the tv on and watch C-Span to listen to Senator Dan Burton in front of a Committtee. He had Scientists, the CDC, Politicians, and more. He was trying to fight this issue about Thimerisol in Vaccine because his grandson was damaged and he had Autism. It was a 3 hour show. And I watched a Live video of mercury 50% which in inside the Thimerisol and the video had shown us how the mercury had deteriorated the brain cells, and seeing it just like a Pac Man Game. I was so sick to my stomach and furious. That was shown the year 2002, and now it is 2014. I feel that Senator Dan Burton was the person who had told me what had happened to my child. And I call him myself that he is the “God Father of Autism” by informing people on the year 2002. But it is 2014 why they haven’t done anything about that? My daughter is still non Verbal, she is 14 years old…Screaming for no reason, Constantly Stimming, Major Gut issues, Yeast Overgrowth, Candida, Parasites, and it never ends. Please help us.

I am not anti-vaccination. We have 6 kids, all have been vaccinated. Including chickenpox, hpv, flu. Lil man was vaccinated up until his DX of AU- by then he was pretty complete in shots. Our youngest was also vaccinated Up until age 2.
Although lil man had already had early intervention in home at 18 months, I knew we’d be headed for an AU DX. But never thought “why”. I was just bound and determined to get help ASAP. And a DX.

In short, after his DX and “the dust settled” per say. Genetic testing was done, again. And help was in place. The whys started. I Never once looked to the news or web stories on why. I thought back in time… On his life. He was hitting milestones, he was babbling, he was… A happy baby.
****Personally**** all that ever changed was a double up on vaccines at 12 month- due to the doc going on maternity leave and our family would be away when he needed the next round. The 1st night after all the shots- he spiked a huge fever and woke up screaming and vomiting. Obviously I chalked this up to- the warning the doc gave. Vomiting no- this I chalked up to bad time to catch a stomach flue. So we waited it all out that week. Figured he was acting “different” b/c of being sick. But…he was a changed child from then on. As we all grow and learn, genetic and vaccines may be a trigger to AU. MAY BE. I’m just keeping an eye on these new stories.
I feel if I said “ahh well it is what it is”… I would ONLY feel like I didn’t get the appropriate therapies for him… To know a possible source of AU is to know what therapies will be needed to HELP him. Not change him, but HELP him.
